Not that i was a huge fan or anything, but the day i no longer saw Jon Butcher Axis videos on MTV....I knew it was over for the integrity of that station.

Since it's really no longer Music TeleVision, I can't say that I wish them a happy birthday.

It's already gone on 24 or 25 years too long.

MTV was cool back then because they had your favorite music on all day long. Now it and VH1 have all these sleazy reality shows that are so dumb I cannot bring myself to do anything but pass it fast with the remote.

No you get $100 per new subscriber you get to join. They'd also give you $100 off your bill for joining.

Though I do pay $100 a month, but I subscribe to and pay for additional HD channels, HD access, 1 standard receiver, 1 HD receiver and a HD DVR.

No thanks...I only pay about $50/month for Dish Network and don't really want to pay additional to get VH1C.

You forgot Martha Quinn and Mark Goodman.. :lol: it's very hard to explain to my kids the trash they see there now is nothing like what the channel was founded on. I was glued to that channel everyday from after school until my dad kicked me off when he got home! :lol:

I remember when "Club MTV" got cancelled. David Spade did a segment on SNL's Weekend Update. They put up her picture and he opened with this. "Wubba, wubba, wubba. My careers in trubba, trubba, trubba."

:lol:

No; not at all....

You see, once the POWERS THAT BE realized that "hey - people LIKE TO WATCH these videos!!", therefore, they "branched out" a bit.

:arrow: At a price. :x

In 2000, I was ABSOLUTELY SPOILED by the different "fragments" of MTV / VH1..........and there's a TON of channels between the 2 of them, for whatever you're looking for...

...NOW, you just have to PAY for it. :twisted: :wink: \~/

Me too! I used to watch Totally Pauly after school. :lol: :oops: Back then it was cheap though. I have cable now, but it's broadcast. I pay $13 a month and it still feels too expensive. For many years, I paid $6 a month. :cry: Not too bad, considering. For entertainment I either watch my movie stash, Discover Health or RTV3 , AN OLDIES network.

Can you believe that not so long ago we had hit rewind to listen to our favorite songs? :shock: Youth is over in a flash, hold onto it while you can.
